With Easter coming up I was looking for a new recipe for a special breakfast or brunch on the long weekend. While I was going through my bookmarks I came across this recipe for a spinach and feta clafoutis that I had saved a while ago on More Than Burnt Toast and my search for a tasty breakfast was over. A clafouti is a French dish where an egg batter, generally filled with something, is baked and up until I had come across this recipe I had never even considered the possibility of a savoury clafouti. I immediately knew that I would have to try a savoury clafouti and this one was perfect as it was filled with some of my favourite Greek flavours with the spinach and the feta. In fact the flavours reminded me of spanakopita, a Greek spinach pie which I have had no end of fun spinning into different dishes over the years.

This clafoutis is pretty easy to make which makes it perfect for brunches or light weeknight meals. You pretty much just need to saute some onions, wilt the spinach, pour over the egg batter and cheese and bake until golden brown. Despite the minimal effort require to make it, this clafoutis is one tasty dish! The spinach and feta combination along with fresh dill definitely works well in a savoury clafoutis! I now have my breakfast planned for the weekend and I already have other ideas for savoury clafoutis dancing in my head.

Oh my, this dish looks incredible! I can also picture in individual ramekins with a wonderful salad, what a great lunch that would be! I haven't even had breakfast yet but I am hungry for lunch, come to think of it, this would also make a great breakfast, THANKS!

I am so glad you enjoyed my creation Kevin. I would highly recommend Rose Murrays Roasted Tomato Clafouti as well if you're wanting to try savory clafoutis.Her recipe is what turned me on to the savoury side of things.

a savoury clafoutis? thats so creative! looks really fantastic and i'll be trying this soon!

also, I'm new to food blogging, and am wondering how to add that column of "seasonal ideas" links with thumbnails.. i would love to be able to choose some recipes to feature on my site and it'd be a great great help if you coudl give me some tips. I love your site and how easy it is to navigate! (:

This is also delicious in individual ramekins . . . do all the prep up to putting into the dish, then divide up between ramekins, pour the egg and cheese over the top and put on a cookie sheet to bake! One of my favorites when I have company for brunch --- and really delightful eaten out on the back deck on a warm spring/summer Sunday morning with feet up, enjoying the paper and a cup of tea!

Right this minute my savoury clafouti is in the oven, can't wait to try it! I've substituted arugula/rocket for spinach, and added some bacon and fresh green chilies into the saute, and am anxiously awaiting the result. Thanks so much for such a clever and inspiring blog.

I made this today for a work breakfast and it was a total hit with my co-workers! I added some mushrooms since I had those hanging around in my fridge but kept the recipe the same otherwise. It is delicious!

Tasted great-- made this tonight for a light supper and served it with a pasta salad. Changes: I added one egg, two chopped chicken breasts, and I did not have any mozzarella. It took it about 15 minutes longer to cook, but my oven is wacky so take that with a grain of salt, although the moisture in the chicken breasts probably had something to do with that too.
